Explaining the connection of his name, Masego said, “Some of my family is from South Africa so that’s a part of that. But in high school I did a final senior project just to look more into culture. I’m Jamaican, my mother is from Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve got some distant family from South Africa. Some family from London. So I wanted to connect all the dots. One of those steps was figuring out the South African side and my first step was looking at a name chart. The name jumped out to me because my nickname in church was ‘Little Blessing’ because I could learn all these instruments without lessons. So I was like ‘oh cool!’ and I was like, that should be my stage name. Just because it felt right. “
“I started to perform under that name and knew the correct pronunciation but being in America everyone is going to mess up the pronunciation so I was at least thankful that they were open to understanding what the meaning of it was. After a show I tell them what the meaning is and why I chose the name. When South Africans find my music they know how they pronounce it and they definitely know how common of a name it is over there which is cool. It was a nice way to unite people among nations and bridge that gap between language and culture,” he added.
